Jon's Awesome Hair

Jon woke up this morning with some wicked bed head. Emily has a reputation for amazing morning hair too, but this picture really wins 1st place. I think it's because he has less hair so it can reach greater "heights."

It reminded me of the picture below of Jon right before his first haircut (he was about 10 months old at the time). We thought it would be fun to give him a baby Mohawk before the big cut. He seemed to enjoy all the attention too. Ironically enough it was taken almost exactly 1 year ago.

Ode to Baby

Jonathan has a security blanket named "Baby." It goes everywhere with him now - so he's kind of become like Linus from Charlie Brown. Baby is great - until he can't be found - then it's the end of the world. Baby is such a part of my daily life now that I thought it would be appropriate to devote a blog entry to him. So here is Ode to Baby:

You are Jon’s friend & companion
You make him smile so big
He has to have you daily
and needs you when it’s time for bed

Sometimes Jon feeds you snacks
and tells you about his day
It’s very cute and sweet
Sometimes you both even play

But, on the other hand, Baby
you get really gross a lot
I try to keep you clean
But it’s really all for not

Then there are the tears
when you can’t be found
and all the looking, looking, looking
so that Jon can lay his head down

So ours is a love/hate relationship, Baby
you have to understand
It’s nothing really personal
It’s just the way it is

But, I know the day will come
when you no longer will be needed
And I have to admit, Baby
that I’ll probably miss you then.
